…Automobile Works (FAW) trucks and on automated guided vehicles (AGVs). Arbe said its sensors enable vehicles to have the perception date to be able to drive autonomously. The radars were first deployed at the RiZhao port but will be distributed to additional ports across China soon, the companies said. The news comes after HiRain announced that it is pursuing “major OEM and autonomous driving projects with the Radar Solution it developed using Arbe’s Perception Radar Chipset” earlier this year. HiRain said it expects the radar solution to hit mass production by next year. Reducing traffic collisions with autonomous technology Tel…

…at a tipping point, with predictions that deployments of AGVs and AMRs will increase by 53,000 by the year 2025. With the use of AMRs increasing steadily, what does this mean for industries facing a need for robotic assistance and how they’ll adopt them? A Quick History of Mobile Robots: AMRs vs AGVs Firstly, it’s important to distinguish a few popular types of mobile robots- their guided counterparts. AGVs were the only way to automate the transportation of materials in larger spaces (i.e. from receiving to the warehouse), with the first one invented in 1954 and popularized in warehouses from…

…mobile robot growth More than 100,000 automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and AMRs shipped globally last year, according to Interact Analysis. It noted that AMR shipments surpassed those of AGVs and that China and the U.S. are leading markets for mobile robots. In addition, the firm predicted that 2.1 million mobile robots will ship by the end of 2025. The global market for mobile robots could expand from $13.56 billion in 2021 to $77.98 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.1%, estimated Next Move Strategy Consulting. Geek+ said its growing global network will help it meet…

…material handling automation space. AMRs outsold automated guided vehicles (AGVs) for the first time in 2021. Reconsider robotics with integrator aid If you have not considered robotics because of its perceived cost or applicability to your operation, it's time to reassess your decision. Today's AMRs, especially for G2P automation, can have a rapid return on investment (ROI), even for small and medium-size warehouses, especially in a tight labor market. There are abundant G2P solutions that combine software with a range of warehouse robots. However, that's a lot to sort through. So, to put all these pieces together, you should consider…

…integrated wheel system, which includes a gearbox, motor, brake, and controller, for its customers in the automated guided vehicle (AGV) market. Maxon has an option that includes the wheel itself, as well as options that don’t. In many cases, a customer’s exact need may not fall in line with Maxon’s preset catalog of products, he acknowledged. In those situations, Patel said the company works with them to find a solution that fits his or her needs. “It’s not one size fits all,” he said.

…to delivering them to end customers. Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) are widely used for transportation in limited spaces. Robots and cobots can be introduced to many parts of the supply chain for faster execution of tasks. The use of automation can reduce dependence on employees to perform various tasks. With decreasing costs and improving technology, AGVs, autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), and cobots can increasingly help improve supply chain operations. In a recent Zebra Technologies survey, 62% of industry participants reported that human error from manual process management is the top reason for inventory fulfillment problems. This includes picking errors, errors…

…is to ease the transition from automated guided vehicles (AGVs) to faster-moving autonomous mobile robots (AMRs). This advancement in automation promises to significantly accelerate logistics, said the Dortmund, Germany-based institute. “We’re heading the research aspects for AMRs, and we’re looking at how we can go as fast and as safely as possible in logistics scenarios,” said Julian Eẞer, a robotics and artificial intelligence researcher at Fraunhofer IML. Joseph Fraunhofer was a 19th-century pioneer in optics for telescopes who brought together scientific research with industrial applications. Today, Germany’s Fraunhofer Society claims to be Europe's largest research and development organization and conducts…

…shift from legacy automation systems like automated guided vehicles [AGVs] and conveyors to more flexible AMRs. What other problems does the robotics industry need to overcome to make automation easier for all? Theobald: Anything vendors can do to remove the perceived barriers of automation is critical. And that’s why initiatives like RaaS are so important. Not only does it help customers shift from capital expenditure to operational expenditure, but it allows teams to scale up based on demand and deploy material handling equipment more efficiently. RaaS also speeds up deployments to days or weeks, not months, and ensures that warehouses…
